62!!Tropes associated with Colin Farrell and his characters include:
63* BeautyInversion: People were astonished to see his appearance as [[{{Gonk}} The Penguin]] in ''Film/TheBatman2022'' -- due to heavy use of makeup he looks almost unrecognizable.
64* BigOlEyebrows: He's known for his thick, expressive eyebrows.
65* FakeAmerican: The vast majority of his roles since his breakout in the early 2000's have had him play American characters.
66* OohMeAccentsSlipping: His very heavy Dublin accent will occasionally slip through when he plays a non-Irish character.
67* PragmaticHero: A lot of his characters are essentially moral, but will bend those morals to accomplish a noble goal.
68* TallDarkAndHandsome: Check, check and check.
